Week 17 :: Lost in a world unknown

         After waking up, i found myself in a large oval shaped-airtight-metal room that had 27 compartments all along the walls, each with a human beings, who, just like me, were slowly waking up from their slumbers. 
Slowly the machine released us, and slowly everyone regained their strength and set their minds to reality. We all stayed in the room and recovered for about a week with food rations given by the lively machines, as well as exercise and entertainment-- but at the same time we questioned why their was no human response.. "Where were the humans?" 
     After staying in the room for about 9 days, a large siren sounded and a screen appeared on the wall with a message explaining that we were free to leave; giving us details on what to wear and rules on what to do, etc. The next thing we know, a large door begins to open and the world in front of us is nothing what we expected. 
     Water. Salt water blasts through the doors opening, and we scream as it begins to fill the chamber. We're helpless to its power, and cannot escape its wrath. The chamber fills quickly-- so I take my last deep breath and swim with all my might towards the opening-- and as I escape I kick my legs with all my might-- trying to reach the surface before it's too late.  
My lungs were burning and I was beginning to loose hope, but my head burst through the surface. Rain cascaded down and poured to no extent. The sun was nowhere to be seen, the vast expanses of dark clouds filled the sky and thunder and lighting wove in between and shook the air with its blasts. I tried to look around, but seeing anything was impossible.
I was lost in a world unknown-- and I had no idea how long I would last at this point.
